Question

1. The spinner shown has six congruent sections.

3 4

2

3

32

The spinner will be spun 30 times. What is a

reasonable prediction for the number of times the

spinner will land on a 3?

A. 3

B. 5

C.6

D. 18

Answer:

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

The probability of obtaining a 3 is

P(3) =
`(1)/(6)`

Then after 30 spins the predicted number of times it should land on 3 is

30 ×
`(1)/(6)` = 5
